[CMake] CPack/NSIS multiple component intall location

[Romuald Delmont]

Hi Erik

This is a simplified view of my project:

Root CMakeList:

PROJECT (Foo)

FOREACH( mysubdirs
  Apps
  Data
)

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "Foo")
SET(CPACK_NSIS_COMPONENT_INSTALL ON)
include(CPACK)


Apps CMakeList:

set(TARGET_NAME Apps)

# Build some stuff ...

install(TARGETS Apps
        RUNTIME DESTINATION Apps
)



Data CMakeList:

set(TARGET_NAME Data)

# Build some stuff to OUTPUT_FILES

install(FILES ${OUTPUT_FILES}
    DESTINATION Data
)


On Win7, Data should be on ProgramData\Foo and Apps should be on
ProgramFiles\Foo

Is there a way to set the install directory (as
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY does) by component to achieve this.

I wish i can do this without breaking into
NSIS.template.in<http://nsis.template.in/>
.

Thanks
